datadiffusion Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Really, thought the A B thing was HH2s? Where there were 2 totally different guts? Thats 2 now for DHCP-but-reserved, versus a BB forum true static. Interesting. Well, lets see what happens when I go back. For the sake of £19, would bang in a TP-Link cable router, except that every internet issue ever would be us on speed dial...

sixwheeledbeast Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yep. No fannying around, just plug my trusty Draytek in and alls well. Just got myself a Draytek Vigor. I never liked the old blue ones, but I thought I'd try one after seeing them becoming more popular rack mounted in tidy server rooms. Now I have played with it I love this new one, it's great. Three DDNS services at the same time and a huge selection (**** you DynDNS), USB port as a NAS and/or a 3G/4G WAN, DHCPv6 setup and working over v4. Definitely recommended kit.

matthew.brough Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I was a mega Draytek fan but the 2850 has had many issues with vdsl and with many we have out in the wild the BT modem is slaved into the Draytek rather than the Draytek doing it all.

Yup had it myself, two installs next door to each other (brother and sister) both on fibre, first one flew in port forwarded first time. Second house, must have spent an hour on it. Leave dhcp enabled on the dvr, reserve the ip it in the router I've power cycled them a few times and it's all gravy New hh4 has the same issue. Strange as the b type hh3 sorted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely rock solid kit, and a breeze to setup for all the many options. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I didnt reboot was the vdsl modem, but afaiu that wouldnt make a difference...

petrolhead Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Don't use the word cctv in the service name you create, that causes problems with the hh3. Are you remembering you need to apply twice, once to add the port, then once to confirm the service? Also a full reboot vdsl and all helps sometimes. i've had 2 that just wouldn't play the game, then suddenly started to work with no real reason.

Neutech Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Good old HH3 Type A i'd guess...what a crock of brown stuff https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-Broadband-Queries/Port-forwarding-and-Loopback-DO-work-YMMV/m-p/525363 Just one of the many threads, I have picked up a few HH3 Type B when out and about where customers have switched BB provider so always useful to carry about as it takes 2 mins to swap and sorts the issue Draytek are fantastic but as with swapping the original BT gear to any other router if a BB issue comes up BT blame installer HH5 is 100% , customers can ring BT and request upgrade to HH5, worth looking at equipment on inital survey and recommending its upgraded prior to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so "CCTV DVR" a no-no then Really odd you mention that as at one point, 'BT CCTV' or something flashed up on the GUI before disappearing and I thought 'what???'
